Japanese restaurants, bakeries, coffee shops, groceries, etc in [Toronto]

Japanese souffle pancakes is having its moment in Southern CA.

To me, they’re more dessert than breakfast/brunch, and all of these Japanese souffle eateries rank high on the Instagram-worthy scale but not so much on the Stomach-worthy scale.

Maybe it’s because they just opened (~ 2 months ago)?

Give it a few more weeks.

We have had soufflé pancakes available in Toronto for around 6 years. Fuwa Fuwa has a few locations, including a location in the Annex.

Hanabusa in Kensington Market had been the first location serving soufflé pancakes downtown. It closed at some point over the past 2 years.

One of the most asked questions amongst various Toronto food blogs was " Where is the BEST AYCE Japanese sushi joint in town ".
In the past, due to questionable quality of products and unrefined food preparation usually associated with such establishments, I normally give them a pass…until " MOMO-KOKO PREMIUM JAPANESE AYCE , on Warden & Steeles ’ comes along!
Photos of some of their ‘impressive’ offerings speak for themselves!..miso black-cod, Sashimi using imported fish from Japan, Maki rolls topped with seared Foie Gras, Aburi Sushi using Hamachi as neta…etc
Definitely a prime AYCE candidate!

Over Pressure Club, in the old Northwood space on Bloor just west of Christie Pits, across the street from Banoi and Chantecler, has started serving a Japanese brunch. They also have a patio.

The food was pretty good for dinner, so hope the brunch is similar.

I was hoping they would serve omurice.
It’s not on the menu.
Here are the 6 brunch mains.

Omurice is probably a little fussy for this kind of restaurant’s brunch. I miss Coo Café Bread or Rice.

Lost In Tokyo is a cute Japanese parfait spot at 511 Queen W east of Bathurst. It was very busy this afternoon.

I would have stopped if it wasn’t a full house. Slight DineSafe record fwiw

Where would you recommend for tempura south of Bloor?
